The theme for the 2016 conference is “Charge towards the future...Targeting
zero together”. The theme reflects the direction we want to take with
respect to SHEQ. Presenters will enable us all to build our knowledge and
Strengthen the fields of injury prevention and safety promotion within West Africa.
As West Africa continues to grow and prosper, we have a shared responsibility to
provide a safe working environment for all of our workers. By investing in a healthy
future, employers will provide the blueprint for attracting and protecting our most
valuable resource—our people. As professionals in the field, you recognize that
effective health and safety measures give us a competitive advantage. Hard-
working Africans expect to go home safely to their families at the end of each
working day. To attract and retain the skilled workers we need to build our
economy, we must meet this expectation.
The conference provides an excellent opportunity to promote your Organization
and contributions from corporate sponsors allow us to offer a quality educational
experience at an affordable cost. Our conference committee is dedicated,
enthusiastic, diverse, and collaborative – representatives from industry, and work
tirelessly year-round to develop original programs and select speakers that
represent the “best of the best.” Year after year, attendees tell us they come away
with practical tools they can use immediately in their workplaces;
The last three conferences were successful in providing sponsors,
Exhibitors and advertisers with significant exposure to a wide range of conference
participants.
we hope you will be able to join us at the conference in the assurance that it will
assist you in dealing with SHEQ management within your organization.
we look forward to welcoming you on the day.
